Monaco, Paris – Brunner double for the German U21 in Latvia

Paris Brunner, striker for AS Monaco, scored a brace in the German U21 match against Latvia, played this Saturday at the Daugava stadium in Riga. The Germans secured a 0‑4 victory, registering in the Euro U21 2027 qualifiers.

Germany's group tops the standings, with seven wins in eight matches played. This performance puts the German U21 side at the top of their group, boosting their chances of qualifying for the tournament that will be held in Serbia and Albania.

The twenty‑year‑old Monegasque striker made his debut with the U21 side, stepping up after being omitted from Jürgen Klopp's extended list, which comprised forty‑four players including sixteen newcomers called up for the first time with the A.

Suspension and upcoming challenges

Despite his success, Brunner was handed a two‑match hard suspension in Ligue 1, accompanied by two suspended matches, following a controversial celebration against Strasbourg where he mimed a throat‑slashing gesture. The sanction will take effect after the international break.

Two matches remain to be played, against Malta and Georgia, where the young striker can once again make his mark.
